Higher education is evolving and so is EOP. If nothing else, the last year has taught us the value of engaging with our students while being conscious of their unique circumstances. For the past 14 months our students have managed to continue their education amidst losing jobs and family members, battling Zoom fatigue, adjusting to online learning, and dealing with the daily pressures and uncertainties of a global pandemic.
They are pretty amazing and deserve an equally amazing EOP experience. To continue providing them the opportunity to change their lives through higher education, we are innovating our services to better represent our core values.
Your financial support will build on the EOP legacy and provide students with scholarship opportunities to engage and maximize their education. When they attend our program opportunities, students experience the best of what EOP has to offer, including:
- Community Building: students will connect, learn and grow with SSEP staff and peers to build community and a sense of belonging.
- EOP Learning Center: students will increase their academic confidence by developing strategies for learning, productivity, and mindset.
- Financial Literacy Series: students will understand the importance of financial wellness/education as it relates to their success in and out of college.
- Grad School Prep: students learn how to seek, prepare for, and successfully apply to graduate school.
- Wellness: Students will engage in interactive and reflective psycho-educational workshops where they learn coping strategies, grow in their ability to navigate emotional challenges, and gain an increased awareness regarding mental health services and resources.
It is because of partnerships like yours that we can empower low-income, first-generation students to change their lives through higher education. We look forward to our continued partnership in impacting the next generation of innovators, thinkers, helpers, creators, and doers.
